Perception of the material properties of wood based on vision, audition, and touch.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the affective material properties of wood are at least partly represented in a supramodal fashion and suggest an association between perceptual and affective properties, which will be a useful tool not only in science, but also in applied fields.

Decision latencies of “same” and “different” judgments

TL;DR: Results of four different experiments showed codability and discrimination difficulty to be the most important factors in judging whether two stimuli are “same” or“different,” and the modality of test stimuli, the prothetic or metathetic nature of the dimension to be judged, and simultaneous vs. successive presentation of the stimuli appear not to be crucial factors.
